Breakups hurt. You want to talk to your ex, but they don’t answer. Here’s how to fix that.
It Takes Two to Tango
Make the first move. Your ex might wait for you. Be brave. Reach out.
No response? Don’t panic. They might need time. Or they’ve moved on. You can’t know unless you try.
What if you’re blocked? Try a different approach. Send a letter or email. Be patient and respectful.
Keep Your Expectations Low
Don’t assume anything. Your ex might surprise you. Be ready for anything.
Expect:
- Slow forgiveness
- Gaps between talks
- Cold starts that might warm up
Had a nasty split? Prepare for a long process.
Apologize if Needed
Did you mess up? Say sorry. Mean it. Don’t explain away your mistakes.
No apology needed if you did nothing wrong. A written sorry works if calls fail.
Hide Your Pain
Don’t show anger or hurt. It makes your ex defensive. Act happy instead. It lowers their guard.
Your ex might doubt you at first. Stay consistent.
Don’t Force It
No demands. No ultimatums. Don’t pressure your ex. It might slam the door for good.
Don’t use guilt. It pushes them away.
Avoid Tricky Topics
Help your ex relax. Dodge contentious subjects.
Don’t:
- Bring up the past
- Ask if they miss you
- Ask about their dating life
- Lash out
Keep a Good Attitude
Stay positive, even if your ex doesn’t. Don’t look desperate or needy. It drives them away.
Make Your Ex Feel Good
The key: Improve your ex’s mood. They’ll talk more if they feel good around you.
Make them smile when they see your name. Stay calm and laid-back. Soon, they might call you first.
That’s how you get your ex to talk to you again.
